  • Wooden Crane from the Time of Wenceslas IV Public Building of The
    Wooden Crane from the Time of Wenceslas IV Public Building of the Replica of the Medieval Crane Based on Illustrations from the Wenceslas IV Bible from 1390 – 1400 Prague Castle 2006 Wooden machines powered by human walk accompany our civilization since time immemorial. Their practical use has been depicted since the time of ancient Rome. Development of these machines is probably connected with development of new scientific disciplines – geometry and mechanics – in ancient Greece. Expansion of using cranes with wheels to walk in came up in the Middle Ages in connection with Gothic architectural style and development of trade. Cranes placed in the crowns of partially built cathedrals used to be dominant features of medieval towns for long decades. Therefore we can often find them in period illustrations in manuscripts, town plans and maps. Since the beginning of the 20th century wooden cranes powered by humans were used to transfer goods in ports and markets. The cage crane from the Wenceslas IV Bible is a unique illustration of a crane suspended on a frontage. The system of its construction proves exceptional technical development of the Prague royal workshop towards the close of the 14th century. For the first time in our modern history it is the aim of our project to make a replica of the cage crane, typical for the territory of Central Europe in the time of the reign of the last of the Luxembourgs. Several replicas of these ingenious machines have been built during recent decades in the world. However they are mainly replicas of newer cranes built by contemporary technologies and tools.

  • Ideological and Real Socialism of My Soviet Childhood, Schooling, and Teaching: Multi-Consciousness1
    ISSN: 2325-3290 (online) Ideological and real socialism of my Soviet childhood, schooling, and teaching: Multi-consciousness1 Eugene Matusov University of Delaware, USA Abstract Through my autobiographical reflective ethnography of my Soviet childhood, schooling and teaching, I try to investigate the phenomenon of political multiple consciousness that I observed in the USSR and its development in children. In my analysis, I abstracted eight diverse types of consciousness, five of which are political in their nature. Eugene Matusov is a Professor of Education at the University of Delaware. He studied developmental psychology with Soviet researchers working in the Vygotskian paradigm and worked as a schoolteacher before immigrating to the United States. He uses sociocultural and Bakhtinian dialogic approaches to education. His recent books are: Matusov, E. (2017). Nikolai N. Konstantinov’s authorial math pedagogy for people with wings, Matusov, E. & Brobst, J. (2013). Radical experiment in dialogic pedagogy in higher education and its Centauric failure: Chronotopic analysis, and Matusov, E. (2009). Journey into dialogic pedagogy. Introduction Famous Soviet comedian Mikhail Zhvanetsky commented in one of his 1970s monologue that it was very difficult to learn what exactly a Soviet person thought on any issue. He suspected that the answer could be given only through a physiological examination of the person’s body, “A person who says ‘yes’ undergoes a careful examination to check if behind this ‘yes’ is lurking hidden ‘no’. The exact answer can be achieved only by a urine test, which is very difficult to obtain from the person” (Zhvanetsky, 2001, p. 175, translation from Russian is mine). For the purpose of this investigation, I define a type of political consciousness heuristically as somewhat consistent subjectivity.

  • Crane, Oregon History
    Crane, Oregon History Crane, once a thriving little city with five restaurants, four hotels, two general merchandise stores, a dance hall, a newspaper, a bank and a movie theater was never rebuilt to its former glory after a series of devastating fires, the last in 1938. The town was at its peak during the time it served as the railhead for the Union Pacific Railroad. The railroad arrived in 1916 to much fanfare from Harney County citizens. The Burns Times Herald reported, “Chief Construction Engineer Young brought the first train in with two coaches and several flat cars filled with excursionists from Ontario, Vale, Juntura, Riverside and other points. As soon as he had disposed of the excursion people, he invited the Harney County people to ride with him, and the train was soon filled. It was necessary to make two trips to and from the scene of the big steam shovel in Crane Creek Gap, to accommodate all.” The railroad was destined for Burns to serve a new sawmill there, and in 1924, the line was completed into Burns. The businesses might have survived to serve the eastern half of the county had the town not be plagued by fires. With the arrival of the railroad, Crane became a thriving business center and permanent buildings started going up. One of the first stores sold groceries and dry goods, and was owned by a Mr. Lee. Later the Hotel Denman was moved in from nearby Harriman. A large store called the Vale Trading Company was established by Mr. Dunlop, of Vale and sold groceries, dry goods and machinery – its slogan was Everything for Everybody.” A high school was built on Crane Creek, and Alice Smith began teaching on October 28, 1901.
